No, not true. It's one million polygons per file.
You don't usually want to break it up into multiple files cuz each material has a handling charge for each print job. Typically, what is done is to do as much as possible with the million polygon limit. For this design that you have depicted, you may want to break it up into two files or so, this will give you extra polygons for the hair texture that will cover the entire body.
Keep in mind though that some of the materials like the metals do not allow multiple loose parts per file.
Let us 3D print the universe. Oh wait! Maybe we already have!

I'm also quite intrigued to how this isn't breaking copyright? Arc Reactors on Shapeways

Are you running the script on a server or in a console? The readline() function is only available (and only makes sense) when running the command line interface (CLI) version of PHP. In addition to that, it is possible that your PHP installation simply doesn't have Readline included (for more info, see the documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/book.readline.php)

Thanks Jonemo, figured it out.

Those videos are great for an intuitive sense of strength. The stuff *can* bend without breaking, enough for springs, if thin enough. It *can* break if too thin. My project might work with wires of 1.5mm diameter, perhaps. Sure, it would be nice to have solid numbers I can plug into engineering formula.
I'd like a rule of thumb: how much force does it take to bend a beam such-and-so thick and yay long by how many degrees? How many degress can it safely bend repeatedly without permanent damage? Can I bend it just a little more, assuming some small amount of damage, but know it'll be good for, say 1000 cycles? Hungry for information...
Those videos are less than great at production quality, but then they're 3D print engineers, not Hollywood celebs with James Cameron directing
